Invasive Species Awareness Week (ISAW) takes place annually in the last week of February. The goal of this week is to come together to increase awareness about the impacts of invasive species and how we can protect natural spaces. The upcoming campaign takes place from Feb. 24 to March 3, 2025.

Thank you for participating in ISAW 2024! Here is what we were able to accomplish together:

  • A reach of 2.4 million+ on social media and platforms across Canada
  • 170+ participating organizations/accounts
  • 200+ people engaged at events
  • 85+ community scientists made 12,000+ reports of invasive species across Canada

Together, our actions help raise awareness about the importance of preventing the spread of invasive species. 

The Invasive Species Centre and our partners lead this annual campaign in Canada to help raise awareness about the threat that invasive species pose to our natural heritage. Each year, many organizations support Invasive Species Awareness Week to make it a huge success.  

Thank you for taking part in Invasive Species Awareness Week and everything you do to protect the land and water from invasive species!
